2009 Portland Rose Festival
Posted in:
The Rose Festival Dragon Boat Races are in their 21st year. Almost 100 teams compete (including local, national, and international teams) with heats of four teams competing every nine minutes. These races are held on the Willamette River (near the Hawthorne Bridge), in boats graciously provided through the Portland-Kaohsiung Sister City Association.
The Amazons started participating in the annual Rose Festival Dragon Boat Races in 1992 and have participated every year since.
